LeMay urges new bomber for flexible national defense
General Curtis LeMay told the House defense subcommittee that the United States needs a new bomber in the 1970s to replace aging B52s and B58s. He offered to reprogram funds to start the project, despite McNamara’s call for more studies and a $52 million design budget. LeMay warned delays could push development back a year and stressed bombers provide essential defense flexibility beyond missiles.
